    >> True, unless a normal user has some kind of admin power, a little or a lot. But usualy people with that kind of access will know what to look for.

    If i didnt make a mistack wasnt the point of this guys artical that with more and more ppl with next to no knolage of linux, the sorts of ppl who can read a source file and who would just use an installer package incressing and maybe even set to bomb that in a few years there coudl well be a signifactne percantage of linux systems with joe blow runing as root all the time, instlling this and that..

  6. Dune on SciFi Chan on First Pix From New Dune Miniseries · · Score: 1

    When are the cable companies gona get there butts in gear and put the chans on world wide, over hear in .Au they wont even put the SciFi chan on as an extra.. so im wondering how long it will take for us to actuly get it, as they have to use up valuble time from one of the other 4 or so chans they can put it on. Ive also herd that there are even places in america where they dont offer the scifi chan.. anyone of you guys over there can conferm or deiny that? i meen isnt that the dammed point of cable.. pay for what you want?

  7. OpenAL and OpenGL (Suport and adaliblity) on OpenAL Audio Library Released · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a good idea dosent it.. but thinking back to when the Quake3 test was realised it sounds more and more like a bad one for a simple reson i live in Australia and i dont know what the market was like else where with OpenGL cards but the only I could find for under $300.au($180.US) was the I-740, so i bought it, then downloaded the 30 Meg test on my 28,800. After a day of trying to get it i did, and then oh no.. a 50!! meg download was needed for OpenGL. all im saying is if they bring this out, lets try and get 2 things to happen.. 1) Avaliblity on more then just top of the line cards 2) incoruage drives to be shiped with the cards suporting OPenAL.. i meen whats the point of haveing a card to suport an open standerd if no drivers are inclueded?? maybe this was jsut an intell thing.. but i doubt it

This type of arangment in my opion shifts some blamb onto the console company for ensuring that all games made for there console work proply
